19 players released by Premier League clubs for Newcastle to consider
The Premier League have confirmed all of the players released and retained by all last season’s 20 Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United.
Yesterday we published the list of the 42 players Newcastle United had retained, as well as the 25 NUFC scholars, and the released list – Steven Vincent Taylor.
Today though, we are looking at the players the other 19 Premier League clubs have released.
Are any of them worth Newcastle having a go at?
We have picked out 19 that could just maybe be worth a shout, comments welcome at the bottom – if any of the players below have been fixed up elsewhere in recent days then our apologies.
(The Premier League rules require that all clubs who were in the 2015/16 PL had to submit their retained and released lists to the Premier League by Saturday 21 May.
The Premier League official website says that ‘The information below is correct as of 21 May. A player’s status may have changed since that date’.)
Arsenal:
Flamini, Mathieu
Rosicky, Tomas
Crystal Palace:
Hangeland, Brede Paulsen
Mariappa, Adrian Joseph
Everton:
Hibbert, Anthony James
Osman, Leon
Pienaar, Steven
Liverpool:
Toure, Kolo Abib
Man City:
Demichelis, Martin Gaston
Man Utd:
Powell, Nicholas Edward
Southampton:
Ramirez Pereyra, Gaston Exequiel
Stoke:
Odemwingie, Peter
Sidwell, Steven James
Sunderland:
Graham, Daniel Anthony William
West Brom:
Anichebe, Victor Chinedu
Sessegnon, Stephane
West Ham:
Lee, Elliot Robert
O’Brien, Joseph Martin
Three former Newcastle players have also been let go – Sylvain Distin (Bournemouth), Charles N’Zogbia (Aston Villa), Jose Enrique (Liverpool).
For my money, I reckon Joey O’Brien, Stephane Sessegnon, Gaston Ramirez, Kolo Toure, Brede Hangeland, Mathieu Flamini, Nick Powell and Steven Pienaar are all worth a look.
